Buddy Walk

The day before the Sydney Buddy Walk was a glorious sunny srping day. The day of the walk it was wet and miserable. Much as I hated to - I chickened out. I invited our team of walkers over for morning tea instead - as I had been baking into the night some treaties for the picnic! Lots of other people who I was really looking forward to catching up with braved it though - and one of my ex students a young woman from Kuwait whos sister has DS went as a volunteer so I was very sorry to miss catching up with her. I am however very impressed that she has said that she had a great day and that maybe one day her sister will be able to take part ina buddy walk in their home country - how cool would that be?!Dress ups Our faux Buddy Walk
